Still having some connection issues. It's a little better as of yesterday, but now I can't get my email tunnels to work, so I'm reluctant to use my regular accounts (I'm reluctant to give away those passwords on the open network I am on.) But gmail is secure (as secure as https that is, which is probably okay for this situation.)
Actually, gmail is interesting. They only send your password over https, and then you view all your messages unencrypted. But you can encrypt the entire session just by going (after you log in) to the address bar and manually replacing the http:// with https://. Just do that once, and then your entire gmail session will be encrypted, even as you go back and forth between pages.
So, the point is, please use jmbassett at gmail if you want to get me. I'm still checking the others, but maybe only once a day or so when I make it out of here.
Okay, I got the ssh tunnel working again. I'm not sure what the problem was. It might have been Little Snitch which is a program you can run on your local machine that notifies you of any local running process trying to connect to the internet. I just had the demo version installed. This *might* have been the issue although I can't be 100% sure. In any case, removing that and a few other demo preference panes I had installed, and rebooting, has solved the issue.
So my digitalmediatree email is working again.
